Laura B. Palmese, 38, and Jon P. Stevens, 48, both of Connecticut, swam to the USS Ling, which is moored in the Hackensack River, after leaving their car at a nearby diner, city police said in a statement Thursday. The duo allegedly stole a lantern and a medical corps lieutenant's shoulder lapel from the historic former Navy vessel on Aug. 11.
Palmese has worked as a member of Thames Society of Paranormal Investigations, a Connecticut-based team of ghost hunters who seek out the supernatural around the region.
"Our mission is to research, investigate, educate and provide assistance to those who are experiencing the paranormal phenomenon," the group website says.
The group's director, Shamus Denniston, insisted Palmese was not tracking down a spirit on the Ling for his team during the alleged burglary.

Is she a friend of Christine’s?
Taiwan still operates a Balao-class sub, apparently the last WWII-era sub still in service.

One more Crazy shrink. Is this the beginning of an epidemic?
Idiots.
Excellent
That crew isn’t paid enough.
The Ling was a nice museum.
City didn’t want it.
So now we have this crap, and the museum is “abandoned”.
Shrink are crazy people,too.
And there were ofers from other locations to take it but - politics.
And now it’s mired in the mud and will cost a bundle to get clear. Then there’s the issue of moving it.
The plus side is that the Coast Guard still lists the Hackensack as a navigable river up to just before the NYSW bridge which is a quarter mile upstream of the Ling. Thus all the drawbridges downstream of the Ling are operable (or should be by law).
Even if they haven’t been opened in decades..
